Woodard Creek Health & Rehabilitation

Woodard Creek Health & Rehabilitation offers compassionate skilled nursing and short-term rehabilitation care in the heart of Olympia, Washington's scenic state capital. Located on Ensign Road Northeast, the community sits in a quiet residential corridor of northeast Olympia, just minutes from the lush greenery of Watershed Park and the peaceful walking trails surrounding Woodard Creek Natural Area—an ideal setting for patients focused on recovery and healing. Managed by Providence Health & Services, one of the most respected and mission-driven nonprofit health systems in the Pacific Northwest, Woodard Creek benefits from decades of institutional expertise in post-acute and long-term care. Providence's deep roots in the Olympia community—anchored by the nearby Providence St. Peter Hospital on Lilly Road—mean residents have seamless access to a continuum of care when specialist follow-up or acute hospital services are needed. Capital Medical Center is also within close reach, giving families added confidence in emergency responsiveness. For families visiting loved ones, Olympia offers a welcoming, unhurried quality of life that is well-suited for seniors. The South Capitol neighborhood, Percival Landing waterfront park, and the historic Farmers Market just a short drive away provide lovely outings for residents on therapeutic leave or family visits. Grocery and pharmacy needs are easily met at nearby Fred Meyer and Safeway locations, and the Capital Mall on Black Lake Boulevard offers additional convenience. The Lacey-Olympia corridor along Pacific Avenue gives families a wide range of casual dining options, from local favorites to familiar chain restaurants. At Woodard Creek Health & Rehabilitation, skilled nursing staff deliver around-the-clock care including wound management, IV therapy, post-surgical recovery, and physical, occupational, and speech therapy programs. The Providence mission—to serve with compassion and respect for the dignity of every person—shapes every interaction, from clinical rounds to daily activities. Families in Thurston County and the greater South Sound region trust Woodard Creek as a premier destination for recovery-focused skilled nursing care.
